I've used DeBabelizer Pro from Equilibrium. It's been around forever (15 years +/-?). It can run scripts from a command-line
prompt and will probably do anything that you'd want it to. The potential downside is that it costs around $400 for Mac or PC, but
if you're using it professionally it'll easily pay for itself.

Subject: RE: Image Extract From .MOV
One of my cameras records movies in .MOV.
I use a command line utility called FrameDumper.exe to
extract images from videos recorded by my other cameras (.MPG, .AVI).
However, FrameDumper does not work for .MOV (it only
works for videos that work on WMPlayer).
Is there any command line extract utility or API
through which I can export/extract images/frames from a .MOV?
Alternatively, is there a way to install Quicktime
codec/format or plug-in on WMP?
Any help and/or advice is much appreciated. Thanks.
Not sure if such utility already exists. If it did it would
be nice to have options to export all frames or frame from
number A to B, where B could be omitted to mean end of
movie. One small issue is that QT movies don't really use
frames, but timebases and the concept of "next interesting
time" when you want to loop all frames
You can use the API of the new Apple QuickTime ActiveX
control, included at QuickTime 7. Search the list archive
for more info on it. You can import the movie with it and
export to an "Image Sequence". To try the concept, use the
QuickTime Player application (manually) that is installed by
default by QuickTime and open the movie, then expot (you'll
need the pro version [arround $30] of that app to enable
export action - note that if you use the QT control
programmatically you don't need to register for QT Pro btw)
To talk to the QT Control you can make a command-line app
using Visual Studio.net for example (e.g. C# or VB.net
Express edition that is free) or you can use VBScript or
JavaScript via Windows Scripting Host [WSH] that is
preinstalled with Windows XP for example (see
www.microsoft.com/scripting for more on WSH)
Else you can arrange for some member of this list (myself
included ;o) to make such a utility tailored to your needs
and either buy the rights and/or source code for it or just
register as a user of that utility.
cheers,
George
